This report says the the children are no longer showing symptoms of
exposure.  Can the effects of mecury poisoning really appear and
disappear that quickly?  I had the impression that a longer exposure was
required to show symptoms, and the effects wore off fairly slowly.

Did they really have "symptoms of exposure" or did the children get
scared by the adults?

A quick search brought up a news report from Saturday the 27th:

Does anyone have any information regarding the mercury exposure
incident(s) that allegedly contaminated a public school, buses, a
church, and private homes in Durham, NC this week?

This incident does not appear to have made the national news, yet, but I
have been told that it has been featured in the local media.
